R,smarck sughtly Ahead.

Berlin. Feb. 22-Returns from the
elections come in slowly. but by q very
careful calculation made on the basis
of figures already at hand, 1t is generally
conceded that Bismarck will succeed in
obtaining = majority In the new reich
stag, but n SO scant that he will barely
get the septemats bill through. The
government requires forty votes to carry
the measure and twenty seats have been
won and the other twenty are almost
certain to be obtained from the waver-
ing center. Ii Is certain. however, the
the government will not obtain q SUI
ficient majority to secure the passage of
the monopoly bills. Herr W~indthorst,
leader OF the centre party is reelected.
The progressive patty is wholly demo.
ralized by the unexpected defeat they
have suffered. They have lost seven
teen seats already, and have only gained
one. The socialists have lost seven and
gained three. The total socialist vote
polled shows an increase of SOC, Zoo. The
national liberals have gained nearly as
many seats az they have lost,

Major Burrows, formerly of Indiana,
where he is we'll known, and recently a
law partner OF ex-Sscretary of State
Mayors and'now . lawyer in Washington,
says that Matthews the colored man
who has twice been rejected by the
senate for the position of recorder of
deeds for the District OF Colombo, has
the "drop" on President Cleveland
and can hold the Office as
long as the present incumbent
at the white house. He says
that Matthews and Cleveland were old
chums at Buffalo, played poker together
and each knows many OF the Others So
orets. Major Burrows. who is q demo-
erat, thinks this the real secret of the
presidents standing by Matthews. and
speaking of Cleveland, added: at he
is renominated he will not poll $4,000
votes IN Indiana and will be beaten in

Science of NnzngranhY.

According TO La Science en- Famille, the au-
thor of the system states that typography per-
mits of diyinng the character, habits and iu-
clination of people by simple inspection OF
their noses. According to this science, it is
desirable that the nose should be as long as
possible this being sign of merit, power,
and genius. For example, Napoleon and Ca-
sar both had large noses A straight nose de.
notes AUST, serious, fine, judcious, and en-
ergetic mind; the Roman nosea propensity for
adventure; and n wide nose with open nos
trils is mark of great sensuality. A cleft
nose shows benevolence-it was the nose OF
st. Vincent de Paul, The curved, fleshy nose
is mark of domination and cruelty. Cath
arine dc Medici and Elizabeth of England had
noses of this kind. The curved, thin nose, on
the contrary, is mark of q brilliant mind,
vain and disposed to be ironcal. 1t is the
nose of dreamer, poet, or critic. If the
line of the nose is re-entrant, that is, ifthe
nose is turned up, it denotes that its owner
has weak mind, sometimes coarse, and gen.
orally playful, pleasant, or frolicsome.

The Lions Fear of Man.

Lichtenstein says that African hunters avail
themselves of the circumstance that the lion
does not spring upon his prey till he has
measured the ground, and has reached the dis
lance of ten or twelve PAGES, where he lies
crouching upon the ground, gathering him
self for the effort. The hunters, he says,
make tia rule never 10 fire upon the lion till
he lies down at this short distance so that they
can ann directly at his head with the most
perfect certainty. He adds that if a person
has the misfortune TO meet lion, his only
hope of safety is to stand perfectly still, even
though the animal crouches to make spring
that spring will not be hazarded if the man
has only nerve enough TO remain motionlcss
as q statue and look steadily at the lion The
animal hesitates, rises slowly, retreats some
steps, looking earnestly about him, lies down,
again retreats, Till having thus by degrees got
quite out of what he seems to feel as the mag
ic circle of mans influence, he takes fight in
the utmost haste.

The reduction of internal revenue and the TAX
ing or of revenue stramps from Proprietary Med
icines, no doubt has largely benefited the con-
manufacturers Especially is this the case with
Green's August Flower and Boschee's German
Syrup, as the reduction Of thirty-six cents per
dozen has been added to increase the size of the
bottles containing these remedies, thereby giving
one-tifth more medicine in the 70 cent size. The
August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Com
plant. and the German Syrup for Cough and
Lung troubles, have perhaps, inc largest sale of
any medicines in the world. The advantages of
increased size of the bottles will be greatly ap-
precated by the sick and afflicted in every town
and village in civilized countries. Sample bot
ties for 10 cents remain the same size.
